If i install any plugins in my discourse, will the Database columns get updated?
I don’t find any answered/resolved column in the topics table.
If I want to mark a Topic as answered I need to install a plugin.

It depends on the plugin.
Some plugins change the schema and add tables, others might use “Custom Fields” to persist data.

Can you give a use case? Your request is too vague.

Hi @Heliosurge
I tried to upload an .png image explain my situation, but i can’t upload it. I’ll try to explain it.
In each Topics conversation you can see an option to mark a post as “Solution”, this is not a default feature of Discourse it seems. Need to install an plugin to enable it.
My Question is, I didn’t saw any Database column related to mark a post as Solution. Any new table will be created in DB, if I add a plugin?

That feature is supplied by the [Discourse Solved](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-solved/30155) plugin.
It stores data in a few places, like the `topic_custom_field`, `post_custom_field` and `user_actions` tables (and likely others).
